"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"409602\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to have the opportunity to speak once again on this very important issue and to take advantage of the cosmic vacuum left on this issue by the Conservatives who do not dare comment on the Bloc motion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"409603\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The government has told us that it could take action and change things. It told us that it was not the government that had given the incentives and the fiscal gifts to the oil and gas companies. What can be said, however, is that the government has still not done anything to cancel any of those gifts the oil and gas companies benefit from.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"409604\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Today at the Standing Committee on Finance, I tabled a motion that the committee study the money and the fiscal incentives given to the oil and gas companies. I also asked that the committee comment on the possibility of transferring those incentives to the renewable energy sector. The committee members voted in favour of this motion, except for the Conservative members of course. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"409605\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does my colleague not think that all this is in fact proof that the only interests the Conservatives are protecting are those of the oil and gas companies?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"409602\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis fort content de pouvoir intervenir encore une fois sur cette question tr\u00e8s importante et de b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier du vide sid\u00e9ral que laissent sur ce sujet les conservateurs, qui n'osent pas se prononcer sur la motion du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"409603\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le gouvernement nous a dit qu'il pouvait agir, qu'il pouvait faire changer les choses. Il nous a dit que ce n'est pas lui qui avait donn\u00e9 les incitatifs, les cadeaux fiscaux aux p\u00e9troli\u00e8res. Ce qu'on peut dire, par contre, c'est qu'il n'a toujours rien fait pour que ces cadeaux donn\u00e9s aux p\u00e9troli\u00e8res soient annul\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"409604\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Aujourd'hui, au Comit\u00e9 permanent des finances, j'ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une motion demandant au comit\u00e9 de se pencher sur l'argent ou les incitatifs fiscaux suppl\u00e9mentaires accord\u00e9s aux compagnies p\u00e9troli\u00e8res. Je demandais que le comit\u00e9 se prononce ensuite sur la possibilit\u00e9 d'accorder plut\u00f4t ces incitatifs aux \u00e9nergies renouvelables. Les membres du comit\u00e9 se sont prononc\u00e9s en faveur de cette motion, sauf qui? On aura compris qu'il s'agit des conservateurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"409605\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mon coll\u00e8gue ne croit-il pas que cela d\u00e9montre que les conservateurs ne prot\u00e8gent au fond que l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des compagnies p\u00e9troli\u00e8res? </p>"
